Who here’s playing with Scala?

[Ryan]

Anyone else using this *awesome* language? I started about six months ago and right now I’m working on a parser for wikitext as part of my thesis. Some very powerful stuff here. Its parser combinators (http://jim-mcbeath.blogspot.com/2008/09/scala-parser-combinators.html) should be enough to get anyone’s attention.

Java + functional capabilities + *very* intuitive parallel capabilities = exactly the environment I need right now.

Your link is broken. What isn't intuitive about Java's multi-threading? I think it's super intuitive, but then again I use it frequently.
